Fire Officer Overtime – Fire Law VLOG

Posted by: Curt Varone January 29, 2023 0

In this edition of Fire Law VLOG, Curt and Bill Maccarone discuss three recent settlements involving fire officers and overtime. The three settlements involve lawsuits filed under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) – and in particular whether these officers are hourly employees entitled to overtime, or exempt employees who are not entitled to overtime. Bill’s class on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 will address this very issue: Advanced FLSA: Executive Exemption: Fire Officers and Overtime, February 1, 2023 – 1:00 PM Eastern.
